The role of airports is greatly underestimated, as the airline industry goes forward after a pandemic that caused devasting effects. During the World Routes 2021 event in Milan, however, airports made clear that they want to be an active player in the recovery, and Dallas-Fort Worth was not an exception.

Going forward after a pandemic that devastated the airline industry, the role of airports are greatly underestimated. During the World Routes 2021 event in Milan, however, airports made clear that they want to be an active player in the recovery, and Dallas-Fort Worth was not an exception. AirlineGeeks had the chance to sit down with […]
Disclaimer: airBaltic provided the tickets for AirlineGeeks. Once I got an interview with the airBaltic’s CEO in their headquarters in Riga – whose article you can see clicking here -, I got curious to know how would I get there.

The face I saw entering the plane was familiar. He put his belongings on his seat and went to the cockpit to greet the pilots. That’s when I asked if he was who I thought I was — and the answer was yes. It was. Quite a coincidence, as I was myself preparing to interview […]
Editor’s Note: Tickets were provided by DAT Volidisicilia to AirlineGeeks. Beautiful Sicilia, not-so-beautiful Catania Airport during Summer season.

The juggernaut of affordable travel revolutionized forever how people fly in Europe, defying legacy airlines and lowering fares significantly. I had thought my first […]
One of the things I looked forward the most to once I moved to Europe was insanely cheap travel – in other words, flying the continents’ ultra low-cost carriers (ULCCs). I always thought that was a myth and that fares were rarely low, but once restrictions started to be lifted and I started to look […]
As airlines in Brazil prepare for a post-Covid-19 environment in long-haul international travel, Azul Brazilian Airlines, the country’s third-largest airline by domestic passenger traffic pre-pandemic and the second largest in July, has announced the signing of a codeshare agreement with Emirates, the Dubai-based carrier. With sales started on Aug. 18 for flights from Aug. 25, […]
A month after starting its operations, Brazil’s newest airline startup, Itapemirim Transportes Aéreos, has delayed wage payments to its employees, according to a report by O Estado de São Paulo newspaper, based on internal sources. The periodical says that wage payments have been delayed “by two to five days,” while other benefits such as meal tickets […]
